The s'aidldistributer 14 comprises alii-op? 3 eratingi knob 218* traversingfa slotinltlie b'oxl. To fill tlfie'boX', 4tlie person removes the over af Thenjby "faking ouml-1e device oriied'fby, the disk- 7 and the concave nieinl the direction of the arrow, Figure 3; and the surfaces 1-6 will thus drive the powder from the periphery to the centre, the powder descending by the action. of the spring 10 and the piston 11.

During the .displacement of the distributer 14 in the contrary direction tothe arrow 3, the surfaces 16 areinactii'febut'the surfaces 17 now act to drive the powder from the periphery towards the centre.

. The powder being thus driven to the centre, it will rise through the conduit 6 and will escape through the -eeding perforations 13 in order to. impregnate the powder puit` (not shown) which `is dis-posed, inthe conn cave member12. The chambers Y.5 and 6 here- `1n .act ascommunicating vessels, andthe powder tends toproceed through the conduit 6 by the action of the spring to whichfis Y 4.oV

added that of'thedistributer 14. n Y.The distributer 14, shown in Fig..3 which supplies the po'wderfforfboth directions of rotation, may be replaced by -the arrangement shown in Fig. 4,4a`nd herein a ring A19 havingin the interior theeccentric armsv 2O of suitable curvature, comprises onV the pe-v riphy aset of ratchet teeth cooperating with theelastic pawl 2l. carrying theoperatingV knob 18, `A stop22 allows thedispla'cement of thering 19 only in one direction. n

It is feasible to provide upon the periphery of the ring 19 a set of gear teeth as shown in Fig. 5, cooperating with a wheel 24 provided with an operating knob 25, or as shown in Fig. V6, to provide upon the said ringa rack 26 "cooperating with avpinion 27 secured to an operating knob 28.` Y

The distributer may alsol be operated by the use of a movable box bottom 29, asV shown in Figs. 7 to .9, and herein the distributer is .mountedonthis bottom, which latteris held in place by a flange-30 groove 3l (Fig. 8). Y

In these several forms of construction, the boX.1has aY circular'form 4in` vthe interior, but the external form might be variedad cording to needs, and the said boX may receiveV alldesired ornaments or decorations.

The interior of theqbox may have other shapes such as square, triangular, polygonal or thelike, and the distributer 14 may be given a straight motion, it having a suitable shape,with a central aperture'l, so that the The arms Vorsurfaces of the distributer mayfhave'all powder will rise by this motion.

desired curves and inclinations, andfsaid arms may evenhave astraight form, with all nec- Y Vessar'y inclination.

The arrangement herein described may be inverted, andzherein jthe powder chamberV consists ofthe central conduit 6 of the proper size, and thel supply takes place through the y`anmilarpart 5, while suitably modifying the Vdirection of movement of the'distributer -(for 6'5 Y'instance theonelshown Fig; 4,) as'indicated (Fig. 7) or an annular a casing, av powder storage chamber in. th

avancee in Figure 8. It is feasible in certain cases to dispense with the distributer 14, and the spring 10 may be replaced by a suitable pressure device.

The invention is adapted for the supply of all varieties of powder, and chiefly for face powder.

lVhat I claim is: l

1. A powder supplying device comprising a'casing, a powder storage chamber in the casing, a perforated disc supported above the chamber, a cover on the casing and spaced Jfrom the disc to provide a space to receive a powder pui, a spring pressed plunger in the casing for maintainingl the powder under pressure, a discharge conduit vin communica 'tion with the powder chamber and the perforations in the disc, a rotatable means in the casing adapted to force the powder `from the storage chamber and through the discharge conduit and the perforations and means for rotating the last-mentioned means.

. 2. A powder supplying device Comprising a casing, a powderk storage chamber in the casing, a perforated disc supported above the chamber, a cover on thecasing and spaced from the disc to provide a space to receive a powder puff, aspring-pressed.plunger in the casing for maintaining the powder under pressure, a discharge conduit in communication with the powder chamber and the pertorations in the disc, a rotatable meansin the casing adapted to force thepowder romthe storage chamber and through the discharge conduit and the perforations, means for rotating the lastlmentioned means, the rotating means consisting'oi:l a bottom portion mount ed for rotation on the casing.

3. lA powder supplying device comprising a casing, a powder storage chamber in the casing, a perforated disc supported above the chamber, a cover'on theV casing and spaced from the disc to provide a space to receive a powder puff, a spring pressed plunger in the casing for maintaining vthe powder under pressure, a discharge conduit in communication withv the powder chamber and the per* orationsA in the disc, a rotatable means in the casing adapted to force the powder from the storager chamber and through the dis-Y charge conduit and the perforutions and .means for rotating the, last-mentioned means,

the rotatable means consisting ofarms movable through the storage chamber and the dis-- charge conduit. l

4. 'A powder supplying `device Ycomprisin casing, a perforated disc supported above tl e chamber, a cover on the casing and spaced from` the disc to provide aspace to receive a powder puff, a spring pressed plunger' in the casing for maintaining the powderl under pressure, a discharge conduitin communication with thepowder chamber and the per.- orationstin the disc, a rotatable means in the casing adapted to force the powder from the storage chamber and through the discharge conduit and the perforations and means for rotating the last-mentioned means, the rotatabie means consisting of curved arms movable through and at the bottom of the storage Chamber and the discharge Conduit.

' 5. A powder supplying device comprising a casing,gapowder storagechamber in m' the casing, a perforated disc supported above the chamber, a cover on the casing and spaced from the disc to provide a space to4 receive a powder puff, a spring pressedplunger in the casing for maintaining the powder under 15 pressure in the storage chamber, a discharge conduit in communication with the powder chamber and the perforations in the disc, a rotatable means in the casing adapted to force the powder from the storage chamber and o ythrough the discharge conduit and the perforations, and means for rotating the 1astmentioned means.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set kmy hand at Paris', this 13th day of February,
